Physical state: white powder substance solid substance
used as analgesic agents There are three main morphine alkaloids - Morphine, Codeine, and Thebaine Addictive
Obtained / Found
By the Poppy plant, from the seed isolate among products of degradation, trimethylamine
Boiling Point
Not Applicable
Melting Point
255 Celsius
Density
1.3 g/cm(cubed)
History
First Active Alkaloid extracted from opium poppy plant
Founded by **Paracelsus** Discovered 1804 in Paderborn,Germany
Morphine was first marketed in 1817
It was though to be a treatment for alcohol addiction
Uses and Importance
As a pain killer Ex: Back pain
Sickle Cell Crisis
Trauma
Kidney Stones
Surgical conditions , pre-and posteratively
reactions
There are studies going on now that show that morphine can lead to cancer and the spread of tumors
It strengths your blood vessels but makes the chances higher for it to invade tissues and spread.
Affect your immune system
Overdose can cause aspyhxia and death
Percent Composition by Number of Atoms 42.5 Carbon
47.5 Hydrogen
2.5 Nitrogen
7.5 Oxygen
Type of bonding Covalent Bond
Chemical properties Chlorinating agents, PCl3,PCl5,and SOCl2 with codeine turns a-chlorocodide, into B-chlorocodide. Also through hydrolysis will yield to make three codeine isomers. The isomer isocodeine will create codeine and two isomers,allo-codeine and allo-pseudocodeine oxidize to create pseudocodeinone which will then turn into 3,4,8-trimethoxy-phenanthrene
